Definitions
- foam forming With foam forming a higher bulk (lower density) can be obtained as compared to normal wet forming.
- the main drawbacks are the loss of elastic modulus ("softness") and internal strength.
- softness the loss of elastic modulus
- internal strength the same characteristics are advantages in tissue making.
- foam forming has been much more common in tissue paper products, e.g. wipes.
- MFC microfibrillated cellulose
- US 6,602,994 B1 teaches use of derivatized MFC with electrostatic or steric functionality for the goals, which even include better formation of the web.
- the microfibrils have a diameter in the range of 5 to 100 nm.
- the drawbacks experienced with MFC are densification and high drying shrinkage of the paper, as well as a tendency of MFC to absorb and retain a substantial amount of water, which increases the energy required for drying and reduces paper machine speed and productivity. For these reasons MFC has not won extensive use in paper industry so far.
- the manufacture of derivatized MFCs is costly due to the additional chemical derivatisation step and the functional groups on the cellulose chain may change the properties of the final product in a
- the solution according to the invention is the manufacture of a fibrous web of paper comprising the steps of (i) providing a foam of water and a surfactant, (ii) incorporating Lyocell fibers together with a pulp of a greater fibre length in the foam, (iii) supplying the foam onto a forming fabric, (iv) dewatering the foam on the forming fabric by suction to form a web, and (v) subjecting the web to final drying.
- Lyocell fibers leads to fibrous web materials with increased strength as will be shown below.
- the Lyocell fibers are Lyocell fibers with a titer of between 0,5 and 30 dtex, preferably between 0,9 and 15 dtex, especially preferred between 0,9 and 4 dtex, and a fibrillation coefficient Q of between 10 and 50.
- the fibrillation coefficient Q is defined as
- t C sF2oo is the time (in min) needed to obtain a CSF value of 200 in the CSF test.
- the CSF test will be performed with a staple length of 5 mm and thereafter be tested according to Canadian Standard Freeness - TAPPI Standard T227 om-94. The larger Q is, the shorter is the time needed to obtain the same degree of fibrillation under the same fibrillation conditions.
- the Lyocell fibers are Lyocell fibers with a titer of between 0,5 and 30 dtex, preferably between 0,9 and 15 dtex, especially preferred between 0,9 and 4 dtex, and a fibrillation coefficient Q of between 10 and 65.
- the Lyocell fibers are Lyocell fibers with an increased tendency to fibrillate (herein also referred to as CLY-HF, i.e
- Lyocell-High-Fibrillating Such Lyocell fibers show a fibrillation coefficient Q of between 20 and 50.
- the Lyocell fibers are Lyocell fibers with a titer of between 0,5 and 30 dtex, preferably between 0,9 and 15 dtex, especially preferred between 0,9 and 4 dtex, and a fibrillation coefficient Q of between 20 and 65.
- a titer of between 0,5 and 30 dtex preferably between 0,9 and 15 dtex, especially preferred between 0,9 and 4 dtex
- a fibrillation coefficient Q of between 20 and 65.
- the Lyocell fibers are Lyocell fibers with a cut length of between 1 and 40 mm, particularly preferred between 2,5 and 22 mm, especially preferred between 3 and 12 mm, and in particular preferred between 4 and 10 mm. Shorter Lyocell fibers will not enhance the physical properties of the fibrous web and longer Lyocell fibers cannot be dispersed with sufficient homogeneity within the whole process.
- the pulp to be combined with Lyocell fibers by definition has a relatively great fibre length, preferably about 1 mm or more.
- a pulp of a high fiber length can be advantageously used in foam forming in combination with Lyocell fibers.
- the ratio of the average length of the Lyocell fibers to the average length of the pulp fibers is between 1:1 and 10:1 (length of Lyocell fibers : length of pulp fibers).
- U.S. 6,042,769 discloses a method by means of which the fibrillation tendency of Lyocell fibers is increased through a treatment that reduces the degree of polymerization of the cellulose by at least 200 units.
- the fiber obtained in this way should be used especially in nonwovens and paper.
- the treatment is carried out with a bleaching agent, especially with sodium hypochlorite.
- acid preferably with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or nitric acid, is also possible. This method has so far not been implemented on a commercial scale.
- This acid treatment can be performed by impregnating fiber tow extruded from spinnerets in a known manner according to the lyocell process and having an individual fiber titer between 1.0 and 6.0 dtex, with diluted mineral acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric or nitric acid, for example, having a concentration between 0.5 and 5% at room temperature in a vessel at a liquor ratio of for example 1:10 and then pressing it to a certain residual moisture of, for example, 200%. Subsequently, the impregnated fiber tow is subjected to steam at positive pressure in a suitable apparatus, and then washed free of acid and dried.
- diluted mineral acid such as hydrochloric, sulfuric or nitric acid
- Long fibre pulps particularly useful in the invention are chemical pulps, chemimechanical pulp (CMP), thermomechanical pulp (TMP),
- CMP chemothermomechanical pulp
- GW chemothermomechanical pulp
- APMP chemothermomechanical pulp
- NSSC high yield pulps
- the long pulp fibres provide the bulky structure and the Lyocell fibers provide the bonding between the long fibres.
- the method according to the invention has been found to achieve a bulk of between 2,5 cm 3 /g and 15 cm 3 /g, preferably of between 8,0 cm 3 /g and 11 cm 3 /g.
- foam forming prevents flock formation between long fibres, very good grammage formation can be gained. This improves the evenness of the print quality as there is less calibre variation in the paper.
- a continuous fibrous web is formed in an industrial scale on a running forming fabric of a paper machine, dewatered by suction through the web and the forming fabric, and finally dried in a drying section of the paper machine.
- the dewatering can also be performed for example on a three-dimensional, water- permeable mould which allows for retaining of the fibers but removal of the water.
- the drying will be performed by hot air, microwave drying or other suitable drying methods which are in general known by the skilled in the art.
- three- dimensional bodies can be manufactured which are e.g. suitable as packaging or isolating materials.
- Another embodiment of the invention comprises dewatering the web by suction of air through the web and the forming fabric at a pressure of at most 0.6 bar, followed by predrying by suction of air at a pressure of at most about 0.3 bar.
- the fibrous components incorporated in the foam consist of about 5 to 40 wt-%, preferably 10 to 40 wt- % and most preferably 10 to 25 wt-% of Lyocell fibers and about 60 to 95 wt- %, preferably 60 to 90 wt-% and most preferably 75 to 90 wt-% of pulp with longer fibres.
- "Longer fibres" means a weight weighted average fiber length of between 1,5 and 4 mm. In particular preferred is a pulp with a maximum length of 6 mm of the longest fibers.
- the foam is brought to an air content of 60 to 70 vol-% before being supplied onto the forming fabric.
- the consistency of the pulp subjected to foaming may be 1 to 2 % based on the amount of water.
- Suitable amount of surfactant in the foam may be in the range of 0.05 to 2.5 wt-%, but will be easily determinable by a skilled person.
- the preferred surfactant for use in the invention is sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), but other typical surfactants may be used as well.
- SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate
- Foam forming by use of long cellulosic fibres and added Lyocell fibers in the foam is thus very suitable and promising method for producing all paper grades needing best possible formation combination with best possible bending stiffness.
- the fibrous web according to the invention which is obtainable by the method as described in the above, comprises a mixture of Lyocell fibers and a pulp of a greater fibre length as outlined above, and has a bulk of between 2,5 cm 3 /g and 15 cm 3 /g, preferably of between 8,0 cm 3 /g and 11 cm 3 /g. Bulk is calculated as ((weight per unit area) x (thickness)) "1 . In a preferred
- Lyocell fibers are Lyocell fibers with an increased tendency to fibrillate ("CLY-HF").
- the Lyocell fibers in the fibrous web are Lyocell fibers with a cut length of between 1 and 40 mm, particularly preferred between 2,5 and 22 mm, especially preferred between 3 and 12 mm, and in particular preferred between 4 and 10 mm. Shorter Lyocell fibers will not enhance the physical properties of the fibrous web and longer Lyocell fibers cannot be dispersed with sufficient homogeneity within the whole process.
- the fibrous web comprises about 5 to 40 wt-% of Lyocell fibers and about 60 to 95 wt-% of pulp with longer fibres.
- the fibrous web comprises 10 to 40 wt-% and most preferably 10 to 25 wt-% of Lyocell fibers and about 60 to 95 wt-%, preferably 60 to 90 wt-% and most preferably 75 to 90 wt-% of pulp with longer fibres.
- "Longer fibres” means a weight weighted average fiber length of between 1,5 and 4 mm. In particular preferred is a pulp with a maximum length of 6 mm of the longest fibers.
- Such products include for example all paper grades suitable for nonwoven products such as but not limited to wipes, in particular wet wipes, baby wipes, cosmetic wipes, facial masks, other body care wipes, wipes for technical and cleaning uses, toilet tissues, etc..
- the high bulk high strength structure achieved according to the invention can also be used for example:
- moulded structures such as trays, cups, containers.
- the fibrous web according to the invention can be used as a single layer in a multilayer paperboard or cardboard, it is preferably positioned as a middle layer, while the outer surface layers may be fibrous webs of a lower bulk than said middle layer.
- the foam forming technique according to the invention it is possible to produce all the layers of a multilayer board by the foam forming technique according to the invention.
- Another aspect of the present invention is the use of the fibrous web described herein for the manufacture of a wipe, wherein the fibrous web is used as at least one layer of the wipe.
- the fibrous web can be used as a middle layer of the wipe while the wipe further contains outer layers having a bulk lower than in the middle layer.
- fibrous web according to the invention can also be, among others, dispersible wet wipes, flushable wipes, dry wipes, paper towels, facial masks (also flushable facial masks), napkins, disposable tablecloths, absorbent core products, sealing materials and the like.
- Fast fibrillating Lyocell fibers are manufactured as follows: a Lyocell fiber tow having an individual fiber titer of 1.7 dtex is impregnated with diluted sulfuric acid at room temperature and a liquor ratio of 1:10 and pressed to approximately 200% moisture. The impregnated fiber tow is subjected to steam under pressure for approximately 10 min in a laboratory steamer, then washed free of acid with water, and dried. The dry fiber tow is cut to a staple length of 6 mm.
- Pulp A commercially available longfiber spruce Kraft pulp with a weight weighted average fiber length of 2,6 mm.
- Fiber content the content of these fibers hereinafter is named "Fiber content” while the remaining quantity is pulp
- the trial set-up at the pilot-scale paper machine SUORA included using foam generation in a pulper and a hybrid former (containing the head box and the dewatering and defoaming section).
- a pulp suspension was prepared by filling the required amount of water into the pulper and then adding the pulp while stirring. Thereafter sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, a tenside) was dosed into the pulper at a feed rate adjusted to control the foam density (target foam density 500 kg/m 3 ). Then the production phase was started. When all steps of the process were stabilized the man-made fiber was added into the pulper to obtain the ratio pulp:man-made fiber according to Table 1.
- SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate
- the basis weight per unit area target for the nonwoven samples was set to 70 gsm in all trials.
- the machine speed was 500 m/min in all trials and the wet pressing load at the final dewatering pressing unit was 600 kN/m.
- the solids content of the nonwoven material at the winding unit ranged from 38,9%-46,3%.
- the samples were dried in a discontinuous laboratory drum drier and reconditioned before testing.
- the tensile strength values which are listed below were measured according to DIN 29073 Detail 3 (identical to ISO 9073-3) in machine direction (MD) and cross direction (CD). The values which are measured here are the maximum force at break in the unit Newton as well as the elongation in %.
- Example 2 show that the papers made according to the invention showed even in the original dried state an equal or even higher tenacity (i.e. strength) in both directions as papers consisting of pure pulp, while the blends with other man-made cellulosic fibers always show
- Foam laid handsheets of the size of a A4 piece of paper were made by the following procedure: Foam was produced by mixing water and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as a surface active agent in ratio 0.15-0.2 g/l with a stirrer (3500 rpm) as far as the air content of foam is 60-70%.
- SDS sodium dodecyl sulphate
- the target air content of foam was determined by the foaming set-up; when the foam reaches the target air content the level of the foam surface does not rise anymore and the mixing starts to decrease the bubble size of the foam.
- the webs were dried according to the following method:
- the wet sample sheets in the size of A4 were dried on a special drum dryer: This dryer rotates (1 cycle within 3 minutes) to dry the sample to a bone dry state.
- a woven fabric presses the sample onto the heated drum. As a certain area at the bottom end of the dryer is open, the sheet falls down into a gathering section when passing through the whole process. After drying the bone dry sheets are reconditioned in a reconditioning room overnight.
- tensile strength values which are shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 were measured according to DIN 29073 section 3 (identical to ISO 9073-3) in machine direction (MD) and cross direction (CD).
- MD machine direction
- CD cross direction
- the samples were rewetted with 150w.-% of water to 2,5 times its dry weight.
- the rewetted state is the state commercially relevant as wet wipes are usually produced by the converter (the roll good producer produced the fabric, the converter converts the fabric by adding lotion and slitting the wipe to its needed size).
- Example 3 in the rewetted state the papers made according to the invention show a gain in wet strength compared to the 100% pulp product. Also when comparing the papers made according to the invention to the other fibers, the CLY-HF again shows a benefit. This effect is seen clearly in MD as well as in CD.
- the strength of the sheets made according to the invention are higher.
- the tensile strength goes down. Lyocell fiber herewith does not show this effect.
- MD the tensile strength is comparable, in CD there is a gain in tensile strength.
